Another mom, Natasha Stringam, recalls how her 12-year-old son recently came across a book "about a boy kissing another boy and things that really aren't appropriate at that stage of development for children," she says.

If your 12 year old can't handle kissing, you have failed them as a parent. But I think we all know what her actual issue is...

Her son must have never seen a single Disney cartoon in his life if she considers kissing to be more than he can handle!
